What am I missing? I can't get JW's Rhythm Copy (v1.02) plug-in to work on the simple example attached. It won't copy in either direction.

I have no problem getting your sample file to work correctly. Don't know what's wrong for you. I tested on Windows, though. Perhaps there is some Mac issue, will test that later.

Many thanks Jari. Much appreciated. (I should add that earlier versions of the plug-in worked fine ... but I didn't keep archive copies).

Yes, there's something strange with the Mac version... It doesn't seem to do anything.

1.03 is now available for download, which should work again. This is a Mac update only.

That's done it. v1.03 works perfectly. Thanks again Jari.

Ummm - "Perfectly" might be an overstatement. The example attached seems to obey the requirements of the plug-in, but the rhythm won't copy either way without changing the pitch of the destination.

I'll look into it. This issue is on Windows as well.

This bug should now be fixed in 1.04, available for download now (on both platforms). Anyone who use this plug-in, please update to the latest version.

That's fixed it. Thanks Jari!

Another interesting note from the Mac side. I use system keyboard shortcuts to trigger several of your great plug-ins. The first time you use a two-step plug like this, it only responds to the second stage by moused menu selection, not from key shortcut. Once it's initiated, both stages work from key shortcut.

I'm sure this is a kink in OSX, or Finale's menu response mechanism, rather than a fault in the plug-in.
